"Not in our neighbourhood," was the collective cry last night as a Napier community protested at a proposed reintegration facility on their street.

The Napier residents are concerned they could soon be neighbours to a number of former prisoners and drug addicts.

May Ave resident Michael Gordon hosted a meeting for 14 members of the community which included mothers, elderly and children, and a representative from the Salvation Army.

The six shipping containers, on Salvation Army property on Faraday St near the city centre, have been in place for about eight years, but could be home to recovering drug addicts and recently paroled prisoners later this year.
